Then I Met You || MGC

Eight

Jemma's P.O.V.

I got ready for the date with Cal and he was a little too punctual for my liking considering the fact that I still needed about ten more minutes to finish.

"Cal? You're on time but I'm late," I laughed after opening the door

I was basically hopping to the door with one heel on and the other nowhere to be find as he laughed at my appearance.

"Take all the time you need, babe," he said as I let him in

"Babe? Wow so this is gonna be like a real date huh?" I joked finding the other half of my shoe next to the couch and slipping it on

"Just a little bit,"

"Alright I think that's it," I said checking whatever I had on me to make sure I had everything I needed

"Well you look beautiful," he smirked holding his arm out for me to hold 

"Why thank you. You look very handsome too, Cal," I smiled grabbing his arm as we headed out the door 

 Calum's P.O.V. 

 When Jem and I walked out of her flat, I made sure to give a cheeky wink over to the peep hole of mine and the guys' space because I knew for sure that Michael would be watching us through it. As a matter of fact, the vibration on my phone from the text message I got from him after confirmed my theory. 

 Fuck you. Michael texted me as I tried to hold in a laugh 

 Little does he know what I have in mind. Mike's been my best friend for as long as I can remember, to be honest I'm kind of offended that he'd think I'd just screw him over like that. Obviously I knew how much he liked Jemma and she was pretty awful at hiding her feelings about him too. 

Michael doesn't believe it but the both of them are into each other yet refuse to admit it face to face, but this is where I come in. My date with Jemma tonight was just to prove a point to Mike that he should just drop his balls and ask the girl out already. I knew that she didn't like me like that, and even though she's amazing, I respect Michael enough to know my boundaries. It's just nice to fuck with him a little bit. 

 Jemma and I weren't the closest of friends yet, we haven't even known each other for more than a week, but she was one hell of a girl to be around and made it feel like we'd known each other for ages. Like we were old friends just catching up. I led her to the car that I had parked in front of the building. 

"You drive?" She questioned as I opened the door for her 

 "No... But Luke does," I gestured over to the blonde haired dickhead in the drivers seat 

 "Nice," she smiled greeting him as I got into the passenger seat in the front 

 "So where are we headed?" She asked poking her head in between the driver and passenger seat as I told Luke where to go 

 Considering our circumstances, we always looked for different locations to visit whenever we were in LA but now that we lived here, it became a daily routine to discover new places for us to explore without having to worry about getting spotted. 

"I was thinking dinner then mini golf to end the night," I answered

"Will Luke, the driver, be joining us on this date?" She asked as I looked over at Luke for his response 

 "You wanna come mate?" I asked him 

 "Sure since you're paying," He smiled
